I must say that Mike Adams has got to be the greatest Instructor for teaching the Audacity platform that I have EVER come across. I got tired of having to hunt out recording studios to help me create my radio dramas and decided to search out an instructor that would be able to help a newbie like me. Mike Adams fit the bill! He not only "took me by the hand" and walked me step-by-step through his course, but he covered ALL the material needed including something as simple as "where to click and why" which is EXACTLY what a beginner like myself, needed. I have excelled in mastering the Audacity platform and couldn't have done it without Mike Adams and this course.
-Tom Arillotta, Radio Drama Writer and Producer
HUGE gratitude for you and for this course! My first audiobook project is now live on Audible and I don't know that I could have done it without this course. It saved me immense amounts of time and also gave me a boost of confidence by demystifying the elements of Audacity/engineering that otherwise would have intimidated me. I am so grateful and appreciate how accessible this course was, both in terms of cost and the clarity that you provided with each step. Worth its weight in audio gold!
-Mara Thomas, ACX Audiobook Producer, Editor, and Narrator
Mike Adams is a wonderful instructor who walks us step by step in this course from the beginning to the advanced features available in Audacity, and if you have questions he usually answers within 24 hours. I've already recommended his courses a few times in different Voiceover groups on Facebook.

Meet Your Instructor
Hello! My name is Mike Adams and I created and teach the courses you see here. While I have taught in several different venues over the years, I unintentionally stumbled into online video teaching a few years ago and I have since discovered it is one of my passions. I love doing what I do and what I do is teach others how to record, edit, and produce quality spoken word audio using Audacity!
Whether video or audio, quality audio is the most important element in our content creations. And I teach to that end.
My experience with digital audio production began in the mid-1990s using a pro audio software called Cakewalk, before turning my attention in more recent years to podcasting and ACX audiobook narration and production.
If you're a podcaster or an audiobook narrator who uses Audacity as your software of choice, I think you're going to like what you see, hear, and learn in my online courses at the Audacity Bootcamp.
